In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry.

This

essay will discuss why is

this

the case and will provide few solutions for the problem.

To begin

with, modern technology has provided various mechanisms to boost the

production

of agricultural foods.

Farmers

in the early days used to cultivate

crops

manually, which in turn would take them several days to cover the entire field but with recent advancements in technology, the same

crops

can be cultivated within few hours using specialized machinery. Due to the use of

such

machinery the

production

rate of agriculture has nearly tripled which makes

farmers

sell their stuff at a much higher pace. So the majority of these foods are exported out of the country they are produced in. Because if they consumption of certain food is less than the

production

.

In addition

,

farmers

tend to get much higher profits when they tend to export their

production

as opposed to selling within their region.

This

gives them a chance to create a surplus amount of cash which they can use to cultivate more

crops

in the coming season.

Finally

, one of the solutions to

this

problem can be that government should set the limit on the number of

crops

that are exported by each farmer so that they are eventually forced to sell more of their products in the same region. Another solution could be to purchase these

crops

from

farmers

in bulk and sell these to people individually. To sum up, In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry because of the problem discussed above and the solution is provided for the same.
